The daughter of former Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa says she was shocked by a magazine article about how her father was killed and dismembered, but she doubts the story is true.
"It's terribly gory. It's terribly upsetting to the entire family," Barbara Ann Crancer said after reading an advance of the article in Playboy. "It's a shame we had to read it in a Playboy-type magazine."A federally protected witness, Donald "Tony the Greek" Frankos, told Playboy that Hoffa, who disappeared July 30, 1975, in suburban Detroit, was shot, dismembered and buried in concrete at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Crancer said she assumed that if the FBI had information such as that revealed by Frankos to Playboy, his family would have been notified.
Crancer, who is an administrative law judge for the Missouri Division of Workers Compensation, has sued the Justice Department for release of the FBI's file on her father. No trial date has been set.
